SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE
•
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check
coolant level visually at the see-through
coolant reservoir.
•
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
•
Do not mix different construction types of
tires on the vehicle, such as radial, bias, or
belted tires, as vehicle handling may be
affected. Replace tires with exact size, type,
and load range.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Escape Window
The bedroom escape window is secured by
two red safety latches at the bottom or side of the
window.
To open, lift both latches up and toward the
center of the window, then push outward near the
bottom of the window.
Using Slider Windows As
Emergency Exits
Some coaches are required to have a slider
window as an alternate exit. This window will be
marked EXIT and have a red-handled latch.
Most slider windows along the side of any
motorhome can also be used as alternate
emergency exits, should the need arise.
To use slider windows as an exit:
•
Lift window latch UP.
•
Slide the window open.
•
Either slide the screen open or push the screen
material out, depending on window
construction.
FORMALDEHYDE
INFORMATION
Some of the materials used in this recreational
vehicle emit formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat
irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of
asthma-like symptoms, including shortness of
breath have been reported as a result of
formaldehyde exposure. Reaction to
formaldehyde exposure may vary among
individuals. Elderly persons and young children,
as well as anyone with a history of asthma,
allergies, or lung problems may be at greater risk.
Research is continuing on the possible long-term
effects of exposure to formaldehyde. Inadequate
ventilation may allow formaldehyde and other
contaminants to accumulate in indoor air.
Ventilation to dilute the indoor air may be
obtained from a passive or mechanical
ventilation system. Always be sure to thoroughly
ventilate your recreational vehicle before and
during each use. High indoor temperatures and
